14 May 2021 Day 5 of Movement Control Order 3.0
Trout has often been dismissed as lower grade compared to salmon and should only be considered when you can't get your hands on the other highly-sought after oily fish. But this is not true.
Norwegian fjord trout is smaller than salmon so it has shorter fibres in its meat, resulting in a firmer flesh. The Japanese, particularly, favour the trout because of its stronger red colour. A notable difference between these two similar fishes is that trout is a freshwater fish while salmon is a saltwater fish. So trout is generally found in rivers, lakes and streams.
Both possess high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower overall cholesterol and reduce inflammation throughout the body. A comparison of a 100-gram serving of both fishes reveals : salmon contains 150 calories compared to 120 calories in trout, there's 22 grams of protein in salmon while trout has 2 grams less, and 3 grams of saturated fat is found in salmon while trout has 2 grams. Salmon has higher levels of vitamin D while trout has higher concentrations of B vitamins.
For us, we love both. We just grab what's available and especially which looks fresher.
For tonight's dinner, we had Baked Trout with Fresh Rosemary and Lemon Juice (recipe courtesy of Elinluv's Tidbits Corner), Marion's Tomato Egg Drop Soup and Bittergourd Omelette.
